Yes. The combination of family-owned California heritage, regenerative organic practices, and triple certification gives it a premium, story-rich quality that elevates it beyond an ordinary rice gift.
How do I cook Lundberg Organic Brown Basmati rice on the stovetop?
Rinse 1 cup of rice, combine with 2 cups of water or broth in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes. Let it rest off the heat for 5-10 minutes, then fluff with a fork for separate, fluffy grains.
Can I cook this rice in a rice cooker or Instant Pot?
Yes. For a rice cooker, use a 1:2.25 rice-to-water ratio and let it run on the brown rice setting. For an Instant Pot, use 1 cup rice to 1.25 cups water on manual high pressure for 22-24 minutes, then natural release for 10 minutes.
How should I store the rice after opening the bag?
Use the built-in Velcro-top resealable closure and chip clip to keep the bag tightly closed, and store it in a cool, dry pantry. Properly sealed, it stays fresh for many months.
Is this rice compatible with gluten-free and allergen-aware diets?
Yes. It is certified gluten-free, USDA Organic, and Non-GMO Project Verified, making it suitable for celiac, gluten-sensitive, and allergen-aware households.
Will this rice work in recipes that call for Indian Brown Basmati?
Yes. It is an excellent substitute when Indian Brown Basmati is unavailable, with a long-grain, non-sticky texture and aromatic flavor that works well in biryani, pilafs, and traditional Indian rice dishes.
What comes in the bag when I order it?
You receive a 2 lb Velcro-top resealable bag of Lundberg Organic Brown Basmati Rice. If you order the 2-pack option, you receive two 2 lb bags. No additional accessories are required to start cooking.
Is brown basmati rice nutritionally better than white basmati rice?
Yes. Brown basmati is a wholegrain that retains the bran and germ, providing more fiber, magnesium, and B vitamins than white basmati, while still offering the same fragrant flavor and lower glycemic impact.
Will the rice turn mushy if I accidentally overcook it?
No. Customers consistently report that Lundberg Organic Brown Basmati holds up well and does not turn mushy even when slightly overcooked, making it forgiving for busy cooks.
